What is your goal? Is it weight loss? If so then are you consuming any supplements ie protein shakes, protein bars, etc.? If so ditch them, supplements are for peak athletes who can not consume enough calories do to their incredible exertions as a regular person you don't need them, if you are trying to loose weight you…

Organic Food is one of the greatest scams ever pulled, just remember the easiest calories to burn are the ones you don't put in your mouth in the first place.

the people I know who have gotten the surgeries have gained most of the weight back

better to exercise every other day for 5 days than 3 times in one day, just saying (keeps you hungry)

I want my pre quarantine Dad Bod back, ha ha

45 minutes in the office, ie the swimming pool, I love it when I get there and there is nobody there, then 6 other people show up, then they leave and then it's only me again, LOL no risk it no biscuit

lack of willpower

I seem to get crap for recommending a body fat machine such as this one, but a lot of trainers still use them, yes they may not be perfectly accurate but you are using them as a relative reference meaning, when you start at 25% body fat and a couple months later you are at 24% you are doing something right, it doesn't…

that is a great question, buy the most you can afford, buy a commercial quality one, look at Craigslist for used gym equipment of a gym going out of business, you are better off buying a commercial used machine that is very sturdy very well made, than a piece of junk flimzy brand new machine off of Amazon, if you can go…

that is an excellent question, and I am in California so I plan on swimming throughout the cold months, and before you knock it, it still gets cold out here especially for an outdoor pool, but it all comes down to how bad do you want it, and if we work hard through the winter ie the "Eating Season" think Halloween candy,…

I had this thought while swimming today. Weight is not like height. I remember being in high school on the varsity basketball team and I couldn't dunk I was so close I could dunk a volley ball but not a basketball and at 6' foot I thought man if I was 6' 1" or 6'3" max the world would be my oyster, well unlike height which…

I just love that introduction, it is short and sweet and tells us so much information, there are often times when people go what am I doing wrong or can you help me and we're left guessing who we are dealing with. Donna how are you doing on your exercising, are you an able body? Are you incorporating any movements into…

I like restoring old trucks and giving them a new lease on life, and I have noticed a similar trend on the car forums, of how 10 even 5 years ago it was all about helping the fellow man (woman) and now it's this new attitude of I know what I'm doing I don't need your advice... yet they are making mistakes left and right,…

thanks, I agree with pro-choice, I feel just because someone has a right to do it doesn't mean everyone will run out there and abort a pregnancy, same goes for a seat belt law, I don't think we need them people should wear them absolutely but we don't need to be forced to do it, same for the helmet law the problem with…

do you mind providing some examples?

congratulations, keep in mind your scale weight is only one of many health factors, find a dip tank or some other reliable way of measuring your body fat level and see where you fit, I don't want to rain on your parade but some people are "skinny fat" meaning they weigh the right amounts but carry too much fat, so then you…

All comes down to how bad do you want it?

cheap ear buds that I can leave on expensive treadmills on a regular basis, ha ha

I'm 93% certain half the time that my thread has been hijacked :/

there were no red flags when you met him? or did you take on a fixer upper project? ha ha (tongue and cheek)

so lately two things seem to work for me 1. immediately change the subject in your head, if you see a yummy burger post on Instagram, don't watch it, switch to a car video or a guy working out, or think about something, anything, anything that works for you 2. when I am cutting weight aggressively I do it for a short…

an old co worker of mine (married 5 times) would give me marital advice and I absolutely adored him, one of my favorites was: "you can be happy or you can be right!" he would tell me, followed by "I finally choose to be happy"

I love it. Thank you

what in the world, today it does match, but yesterdays and all days prior were off, and I didn't change nothin' ha ha

hi, thanks for your reply, no this is before the exercise calories burned are subtracted, I thought the same thing as you, so the amounts should match this app is buggy as he11

swam this morning and about to go swim again this evening

How do you keep a turkey in suspense?

I will take the less popular view and agree with the statement above, and in no way am I being rude, but basing my feedback on personal interaction with a body builder whom I photographed and he said dropping below 10% is done temporarily by males for competitions it is not a sustainable body fat level, (peak athletes…

I think it was Ray Romano who wrote a book that started on page 37 or something like that LOL, he said when ever he picked up a book he would dread having to read that many pages, but with his, day one, you're already on page 37 So I feel you, on two levels, one I worked so much at one point in my life that my son would…
